Item2369: Add rowspan support to the WYSIWYG editor
This also fixed a bug in how Web.WikiWord links are rendered, if the link is the only text in the table cell.

Tables are no longer "normalised" when converting from HTML to TML by appending |'s so that every row has the same number of |'s. The logic to do so when supporting rowspans is complex (read: likely to be buggy) and the "normalisation" feature is seldom used (it only had any effect if the HTML has a table with a hole in it.) Taking out the normalisation does not result in loss of content.

 ---+++ Overlapping styles
-Because Foswiki uses a "best guess" approach to some formatting, it allows overlapping of tags in a way forbidden by HTML, and it is impossible to guarantee 100% that formating in the original Foswiki document will still be there when the same document is loaded and then saved through the WysiwygPlugin. The most obvious case of this is to do with styles. For example, the sentence

 which is correct by construction, but does not render correctly in Foswiki. This problem is unfortunately unavoidable due to the way TML works.
 
+---+++ Rowspan processing needs %SYSTEMWEB%.TablePlugin
+
+WysiwygPlugin is able to convert tables with cells that span rows into TML. This requires syntax provided by the %SYSTEMWEB%.TablePlugin (that is, the =| ^ |= markup). WysiwygPlugin will therefore only perform row-span related conversion if %SYSTEMWEB%.TablePlugin is enabled. %SYSTEMWEB%.TablePlugin is enabled by default and hence WysiwygPlugin converts tables with cells that span rows between TML and HTML by default.
+
+If %SYSTEMWEB%.TablePlugin is *not* enabled, then TML table cells containing only =^= are not converted to rowspans, and HTML tables containing rowspans are not converted to TML.
